Install Photoshop/Premiere Elements on a new computer with a different OS

I would like get the wisdom of this forum for installing Adobe software on a new computer which is different from my current computer.

 

I currently have a Windows 7 PC. I am thinking of buying a Mac. However, I would like to hold on to my Windows PC for sometime as I have got a lot of stuff on it.

 

I have a combined Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 and Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 package for Windows.

 

I have 2 questions.

  1. I would like to confirm that my license allows installation on 2 computers ?
  2. What if the two computers are different – one is Windows and the other is Mac ? Can I have the Windows+Mac installations with my purchase ? In other words, can the 2 computers be different ? One Windows and the other Mac ?

You can install the program on two computers, provided they are both your computers. However, the Mac and the PC are two separate installations. If you've got the boxed set, you have a disc for each OS. If you bought your program online and downloaded the program, you will not be able to install it on a PC and on a Mac.
